Iffoid Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 lovely to meet you last night iffoid and the friends you were with. I got to see Simon and have sponsered a rider for the testimonial. Can you please post on here how much mechandise costs need to know how much i will need as also want a race jacket. We are interested in the sleeveless jackets think i will need four for the whole family x  Sorry that I took so long getting back to you - there are two slightly different designs, one has a fleece inside and the other doesnt. They cost £37 and are available in all sizes. If you want certain sizes just let me know and I will make sure that they have them available on thursday (if possible). Do you want to know the price of anything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iffoid Posted August 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 The referree for Simon's meeting, Jim Lawrence, has kindly agreed for a fan to shadow him for this meeting. The experience is now on Ebay for the next 7 days & I have included the link. http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=360478976427  The winning bidder will accompany Jim on the track walk, be present for the rider briefing & then watch the meeting from the ref's box.  This is a great opportunity for any Speedway fan.  All proceeds will go to Simon's Testimonial Fund in recognition of his services.  Julie  Just 4 hours left to get any last minute bids in - dont miss this fantastic opportunity!

Awaiting humorous username Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Glad to see the auction got into 3 figures  As I was the underbidder and helped push it up from about £30 when I started bidding, I feel I've done my bit to boost Simon's fund even if I don't get to the stadium tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although I know the winning bidder so they might not be so pleased..........)  Not really - I am sure they are happy that it is going to such a worthy cause   One change from the line-up: Batch out (now riding for his Czech club) and Kenneth Bjerre in - hows that for a late replacement, in comes a GP Star!

swindonbabe Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Obviously would of loved to see Troy riding but you cant beat changing him with Kenneth Bjerre what a late replacement change Also pleased with what Simon is doing for the Rico fund and auctioning off a race jacket made specially for Lee. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iffoid Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 You beat me to it Swindonbabe! Â There will be an auction of all race jackets (including the one made specially for #RICO who had already agreed to ride in this meeting before his sad loss) - plus a raffle with some brilliant prizes - in the main bar straight after the meeting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Weather not looking good for this meeting. Rain due most of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iffoid Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 The local forecast is not looking too bad with it being overcast for most of the day with just the odd shower around lunch time. Â Metcheck & BBC forecasts both looking good too! Â Looking forward to seeing a packed Abbey tonight :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Weather fine and dry at 11am and has been the same all morning. Most of the riders there tonight ride well at the Abbey which should lead to some very good racing. Looking forward to seeing the Zagarmeister. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Wish I'd got the feller organised, and we could have come to this and then moved on to watch the Bandits at Somerset tomorrow. Â All the very best to Steadie -- we remember his Uncle Ian (The Original) as a stalwart Bandit at Berrington lough in the 'eighties. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
